You Save By Buying 
| DIRECT From Gurney’s 
You can get better field seeds for less 
money by buying DIRECT from Gur- 
ney’s. Buying DIRECT cuts out the ex- 
tra commissions, the extra profits and 
extra delivery charges you would have 
to pay some middleman if you. didn’t 
buy direct. And these savings ARE 
YOURS. 
In many cases, Gurney’s price, direct- 
to-you, is lower than wholesale quotations 
on the same quality seed. That means 
you buy at a price as low or lower than 
the seed dealer. 
Besides, buying direct from Gurney’s, 
you are assured of better quality seeds. 
Gurney’s have the huge amount of equip- 
ment necessary to clean, test, and grade 
seed correctly and scientifically to make 
sure it’s absolutely the finest you can buy.

experts—persons who know the seed busi- 
ness from one end to the other. 
If you can save from $5 to $50 on your 
field seed needs while getting the fanciest 
quality available, it’s worth doing, isn’t it?

this year. How did it yield? How did 
it pick? Did it stand up to suit you? 
And, if you have any pictures of your 
field or yourself near the corn crib or 
something like that, we’d like to have it, 
too. But if you don’t have a picture, we 
hope you'll take time to drop us a post- 
card or letter and let us know.

self of getting the hybrid seed corn you 
will need so bad next spring. Chances 
are, a great many folks may be disap-.

tests and checks proven superior and we ° 
recommend their use. You see, we are 
able to make improvements in our hy- 
brids quicker than the state can for they 
must usually wait 5 years before change
